The Crystal Brook-Broken Hill railway line is a 371 kilometre line running from Crystal Brook to Broken Hill on the Australian Rail Track Corporation network.〔(Crystal Brook - Kanandah map ) SA Track & Signal〕〔(D15 Broken Hill to Crystal Brook ) Australian Rail Track Corporation April 2014〕 ==History== In the 1875, the South Australian Railways built a narrow gauge line from Port Pirie to Gladstone.〔(PGladstone ) National Railway Museum〕 This was extended to Cockburn in 1888 where it joined with the Silverton Tramway. In April 1963, the Federal Government decided to convert the line to standard gauge to create an East-West rail corridor from Sydney to Perth.〔(Webb report 1976 ) Australian Rail Track Corporation〕 The new line opened in January 1970.〔(Broken Hill Railway Precinct ) NSW Environment & Heritage〕 In 1982, the Adelaide to Port Augusta line was converted to standard gauge. As part of this the junction with the Port Pirie to Broken Hill line was moved 24 kilometres east to Crystal Brook. The 371 kilometre line is single track throughout with 13 crossing loops.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crystal Brook-Broken Hill railway line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
